Sudeep Ahmed 10108001 Abstract The existing institute Bishaud Bangla Organization is housed under a limited space which is rented. The organization hopes to serves the purpose with which it was planned. Moreover gives a place to the city dwellers of Chittagong a place to go, where they can study, and make themselves culturally active and also get enlightened. At present the space for the institution is not suffiecient for the type of activities it performs. Often they need to hire auditoriums for large gatherings, and places outside, and the existing spaces are not sufficient for their objectives and to the city’s need. Chittagong needs an art complex, as it needs to provide a proper platform to the new upcoming generations and the artist would do the rest. At this point, exciting talks and exhibition can only be housed in limited space only. My idea for the project is to create a space or a platform to expand the cultural activity within the city in regards to the limited housing of the exhibition. A space for the new generation interacting hub, a gathering point. Our language, heritages, our music, art, literature and painting and even the vast variety of food and clothing of Bengali people and beautiful handicrafts of the rural craftsmen will be integrated in the space, regardless, the religion, caste and nationalities all the social and cultural elements of the life of the people.

Popularly known as commercial capital, it is situated in the southeastern portion of the country, and was built on the banks of the River Karnaphuli. The city has a population of four million. Most of the city is surrounded by hilly terrains. Being the country's primary port, Chittagong is the main route for almost all of Bangladesh's import and export, generating a major portion of the country's annual revenue. The people of the city are diverse and multi-ethnic, and the native Bangalee people have had significant influence from Arab, Afghan, and Mughal traders and settlers, all of whom had travelled to the city after arriving on its shores hundreds of years ago. There are many Tibeto-Burman tribes that have been influenced by Bengali culture also living there, such as the Chakma people. The descendants of Portuguese settlers, known as the Firingi, also continue to live in Chittagong, as Catholic Christians, in the Old Portuguese enclave of Paterghatta. But most of the populace belong to the religion of Islam. An art centre or arts center is distinct from an art gallery or art museum. An arts centre is a functional community centre with a specific remit to encourage arts practice and to provide facilities such as theatre space, gallery space, and venues for musical performance, workshop areas, educational facilities, technical equipment, etc. Chittagong needs an art complex, as it needs to provide a proper platform to the new upcoming generations and the artist would do the rest. At this point, exciting talks and exhibition can only be housed in limited space only. The project proposal came out from an web article for the fund raising of the complex, which caught my attention. The client, Mr. Alam Khorshed, have been self-financing this tiny cultural space for more than 8 years and then he thought it was about time to realize his original vision and widen into a true arts center dedicated to presenting local and international culture and supporting the creativity of the artists and artisans around. My idea for the project is to create a space or a platform to expand the cultural activity within the city in regards to the limited housing of the exhibition. A space for the new generation interacting hub, a gathering point. Our language, heritages, our music, art, literature and painting and even the vast variety of food and clothing of Bengali people and beautiful handicrafts of the rural craftsmen will be integrated in the space, regardless, the religion, caste and nationalities all the social and cultural elements of the life of the people. Ahmed 10108001 1.3 Project Introduction Bangla is not just a piece of land or language; it’s the name of an ancient culture too. Judging from the extent and diverse nature of its historio-political and anthropological identity, it is truly a multifaceted entity. Yet this distinctly unique and multidimensional Bangla is rarely portrayed in its true and complete essence. Therefore, in order to establish and present Bangla in its totality, the organization took the initiative to build this holistic, self- reliant and equitable organization. Their goal is to preserve, promote and propagate the entire gamut of Bangla’s culture, ranging from its history, tradition, language, literature, music, arts to the attire, food-habit, taste of home-decor etc. of its people. Irrespective of class, race, religion and ethnicity, they intend to garner and showcase the creativity and lifestyle of our entire population through this capacious platform. But in no way the complex harbors a narrow nationalistic or parochial outlook. The organization is firmly committed to build a lasting bridge between our own rich heritage and all the good things and thinking of the entire world civilization.

  • Estimating Urban Flood Hazard Zones Using Swmm in Chittagong City
    Tech. J. River Res. Inst. 13(1): 87-101, 2016 (October), ISSN: 1606-9277 ESTIMATING URBAN FLOOD HAZARD ZONES USING SWMM IN CHITTAGONG CITY Aysha Akter1 and Ahad Hasan Tanim2 Abstract Identifying urban flood-prone areas with their relative hazard scale is the fundamental work of urban flood management. This may introduce using a probabilistic methodology by flood hazard zoning of potential urban flood hazard area. Based on statistical analysis of US EPA Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) with a threshold value of maximum depth of each node of link network number of overflow events in a specified time period can be obtained. Further using Kernel hazard density the spatial analysis in ArcGIS can be used to obtain a GIS compatible maps for the hazard zoning of the potentially flood prone areas. In this study Chittagong city, the second largest city of Bangladesh has been taken as a case study and the wettest year 2014 was selected for model simulation. The validated model outcome reasonably identified the flood prone vulnerable zones which is comparable to the outcome of recent field studies. Thus, it is expected that the acquired flood hazard mapping will play major role once this is observed using details field data. Finally, this would provide flood risk information to the decision makers and flood protection works to prioritize the relatively more flood hazard zone for management purpose. Introduction Chittagong city area has experienced the highest number of flood incidence in last decades. Social environment, local economy and ecology have been hampered and degraded due to prolonged urban flooding.

  • Land Politics in Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh: Dynamics of Property, Identity and Authority
    Land Politics in Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh: Dynamics of Property, Identity and Authority Fariba Alamgir A thesis submitted to the School of International Development, University of East Anglia, and to the Department of Food and Resource Economics, University of Copenhagen, in partial fullfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. September 2017 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. i Abstract Studies have revealed intense competition over land in Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of Bangladesh. This study examines land dispute processes within and between hill people (Chakma Community) and Bengali settlers (who migrated through government initiated settlement program in 1979) in CHT. By understanding property, identity and authority as relational; my study explores mutually constitutive processes between property and authority relations, and between property and identity relations. It investigates how property in land is claimed and defined in the context of dynamic authority relation in land control, multiple categorisations and identity claims in CHT. By carrying out a historical analysis of state-making, I argue that CHT remains a frontier because of- the distinctive legal and administrative systems, ambivalence in property system, ongoing processes of reconfiguration of institutional arrangements in land control and state’s territorial strategies to control its population and space. The study employs an ethnographic approach and data are collected by engaging with disputants, institutional actors, academics, members of political organizations and civil society.

  • Does Architecture Define a "New" Bangladesh?
    Home Supplements 27th Anniversary Supplements Rethinking urban spaces 12:00 AM, February 22, 2018 / LAST MODIFIED: 04:26 PM, March 01, 2018 Does architecture define a "new" Bangladesh? From left to right: Ahsan Manzil, Institute of Fine Arts (DU), Jatiyo Shangshad Bhaban, and Bait Ur Rauf Jame Masjid. Illustration: Nuzhat Shama Adnan Morshed The architectural scene in Bangladesh has been thriving with a “new” energy over the past two decades or so. Bangladeshi architects have been experimenting with form, material, aesthetics, and, most importantly, the idea of how architecture relates to history, society, and the land. Their various experiments bring to the fore a collective feeling that something has been going on in this crowded South Asian country. One is not quite sure about what drives this restless energy! Is it the growing economy? The rise of a new middle class with deeper pockets? Is it an aesthetic expression of a society in transition? Is it aesthetics meeting the politics of development? Whatever it is, an engaged observer may call this an open-ended search for some kind of “local” modernity. Two recent projects—Bait Ur Rouf Mosque on the outskirts of Dhaka and the Friendship Center in the northern city of Gaibandha—have won one of global architecture's most coveted design awards, the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, in the 2014–16 award cycle. Bangladeshi architects have been winning architectural accolades from around the world for a variety of architectural projects. High-profile national architectural competitions have created a new type of design entrepreneurship, yielding intriguing edifices. Architects have also been expanding the notion of architectural practice by engaging with low-income communities and producing cost-effective shelters for the disenfranchised.

The second largest area, 19% of NCA, was covered by single T. Aman, which was spread out over 32 upazilas. A total of 93 cropping patterns were identified in the whole region under the present investigation. The highest number of cropping patterns was 28 in Naokhali sadar and the lowest was 4 in Begumganj of the same district. The lowest crop diversity index (CDI) was observed 0.135 in Chatkhil followed by 0.269 in Begumganj. The highest value of CDI was observed in Banshkhali, Chittagong and Noakhali sadar (around 0.95). The range of cropping intensity values was recorded 103−283%. The maximum value was for Kamalnagar upazila of Lakshmipur district and minimum for Chatkhil upazila of Noakhali district. As a whole the CDI of Chittagong region was 0.952 and the average cropping intensity at the regional level was 191%. Key words: Crop diversity index, land use, cropping system, soybean, and soil salinity INTRODUCTION household enterprises and the physical, biological, technological and socioeconomic The Chittagong region consists of five districts factors or environments.
